Great run, lovely people, fab medal and wet weather!

Yet another brilliant event from Sporting Events, they make it fun even when it’s not!

Brilliant as always!

Despite the weather, we had a fantastic time. The organisation was superb, the marshals and volunteers were so friendly, supporting and helpful, the course was interesting, and the medal is gorgeous. There is only one niggle for me and a plea to participants; please stop dumping your empty bottles in the countryside and expect volunteers to pick up after you.

Great

It was a great course but slightly over the 5 miles. Everyone’s watch was over by 0.10-0.18

Great organisation and enthusiasm. Marshall were amazing given the horrendous conditions.

I would still have entered but would have liked to have seen the word undulating in the course description. If it is there I didn't notice. Would have also appreciated knowing that there was a trail section. Given the conditions,I would then have worn my trail/road hybrids. This is constructive criticism only. I massively enjoyed this event and would definitely do it again and recommend it to others. Thank you.

Excellent event and well organised as ever

Great route although challenging given the conditions! Sporting Events are always well organised and the medals were brilliant. Just one very minor point...I'm sure at previous events we received a text notification of official finish time but didn't get that this time. All the best for future events.

It would be great in better weather.

It was an adventure as the weather was atrocious but still good fun.

So well organised and great facilities at HQ

Thank you so much to the marshals who were out in that awful weather with big smiles and encouragement for us all

Well organised and great support from the marshals

My only criticism is that the water offered were plastic bottles that some runners thew onto the ground along the route. I'm not sure if the event organisers checked and cleared these after the event but a more sustainable approach could be adopted in future.

Good run but watch out for the puddles

Haribo was handed out but as a veggie, it's not suitable for everyone. Haribo strawberries are suitable. Percy pigs.
